Installed a printer driver and all of a sudden all of the printer drivers disappeared. Now even though I start the print spooler, when you try to add a printer, the error message comes up stating the spooler is not running.

Hi,

Goto bleepingcomputer and run adwcleaner, rogukiller and malwarebyte to rule out malware.

If the computer is clean download windows all in one repairs and do the full repair.

I have fixed many client computers that had printer problem with it. Else I would have had to reinstall windows.

Good luck
